6 months!

Grant is six months old now, how time flies! We went to the doctor on Monday and he is 27 1/2 inches long and 16 lbs. 10 oz. He got three more shots and he did really good, he is a tough little guy! He was his smiley little self and all of the nurses and staff just loved him, they couldn't get over how happy he was, even after the shots! He is a happy little boy, he smiles all the time. He is now at that age where he is starting to recognize faces and study people too. If someone takes him from mommy he just stares at them for a while before he decides if he likes them or not. He pretty much always decides he likes them! He is sitting by himself very well and enjoying tummy time much more now that he can lift himself up better and for longer periods of time. He'll be crawling in no time! Time to make sure the house is really baby proofed!

Happy Halloween

Here is a picture of the pumpkin tart that I made for the Stewarts party tonight, I'm kinda proud of myself for this one!

Almost There

Grant is so close to sitting up by himself. Just a couple of weeks ago he learned how to tripod (thanks Aunt Becky), and already he's balancing with very little help. He will even lean forward to grab his toy and then sit back up again. He even sat by himself long enough that I was actually able to catch a picture of it too! And on another note, the cereal is going much better too, by the way. We started mixing it with a little pear juice and now he will eat it, but only at dinner time. Maybe that is because daddy feeds him at dinner, but he would not eat very much of it this morning. Maybe on Saturday we'll experiment with daddy feeding him in the morning and see if he eats it then.

Fall Decor

Last week I got out the fall decorations. The summer went by really fast! I was excited to actually decorate this year, last year around this time I was sick and didn't feel like doing anything. It's not much, but I usually add to it every year so one day the whole house might be decorated! My favorite part is the scent, I've put out all of my fall candles so my house smells like pumpkin pie! And we just put up a beautiful picture of our sweet boy compliments of my friend Katie!

Meeting Jack and other fun in Gainesville

This weekend we went down to Gainesville to meet our newest nephew Jack. He is so tiny and sweet! Can't decide who he looks like yet though. Mimi was very excited to have all three of her grandsons together for the weekend too! Ethan loved having Grant around again. I think he is going to be a great big brother, he is so sweet to Grant. Grant was watching everything Ethan did too, it won't be long before he is following him around! Grant's new trick

Trying Cereal

So, we began trying cereal this month. It didn't go so well as you will see in the video. We tried mixing it with breast milk, we tried rice and we tried oats, still not liking it. So, we'll try again, but for now I'm trying to make sure I remember this since I'm sure he'll be eating us out of house and home before we know it! I love how Drew tries to trick him into opening his mouth, he figures it out though of course!
